Strut tower bar question

[Bronze MFP]

I just got a nissan STB today and was wondering if the bolts that are in the red boxes in the pic below need to be tightened down so the mounting plates can't move.

[PGBrian]

yeah.

you wouldnt happen to know the torque specs for those 2 bolts would you? I cant find the 200sx service manuals online right now

[hannibal]

Torque specs? Thats a factory 200sx STB??

[PGBrian]

just tighten it.one side is probably a hex key, while the other side is a... 17mm bolt i think.just tighten it with the handtools.no big deal.

Torque specs? Thats a factory 200sx STB??

yupi had a 200sx service manual, but I lost it when my old HD died, and I can't find the site it was on... if is even up anymore.

[hannibal]

Thats awesome. But how did the 200sx get one and the S13/S14 not??

..Ive always wondered about those bolts too...

the 200sx is the s14 silvia in europe or australia The guy that sold me the bar said it was from a japanese silvia, but it doesnt matter, i was just asking for a 200sx (s14, not sentra) service manual because it is in englishthanks for lookin up the sentra manual though, i know someone who can use that

brian, I just tightened them down like you said. I'm usually a torque nazi, and was kinda worried since the bar was aluminum, but its all good, thanks

[hannibal]

Oops, I gotcha now...
